I'd love to hear someone weigh in on all the talk about women sportscasters, especially the stuff that has grown to a fever pitch after Erin Andrews' interview of Richard Sherman. Andrews was called "drama queenish" and people pointed to (and attempted to retract/damage control) her status as a conventionally attractive, white, blond cis woman as the reason she purportedly mishandled her interview. That it's too bad 'less hot' women get passed over for the jobs less qualified, 'more hot' women get. That more 'less hot' women should be hired. But just the white ones. Bitch, there is so. much. fail. and I need you to discuss because i can't even. Superbowl is this weekend and it's not just the on-field games that are going to hit the fan.
